Rio Odds On To Never Don The Three Lions Again

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The decision to leave Rio Ferdinand out of the England squad, despite the catalogue of injuries, has stirred consternation amongst the masses and William Hill think that this could be the final nail in the long serving defender’s international coffin. He is 4/9 to never play for England again and 4/1 to announce his international retirement before the start of the 2012/13 Premier League season.

“Rio is a veteran of over 80 England caps but it looks like he will fail to add to his impressive tally,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are now betting on when Ferdinand will retire from football completely and offer 10/1 that he does so this year. Ferdinand fans need not worry, however as the odds of 6/4 suggest it is much more likely he is still playing in 2015.

“Players often add a couple of years to their playing careers by retiring from international football and Rio’s omission could be a blessing in disguise,” said Crilly.

Rio Ferdinand to announce his international retirement before the start of the 2012/13 Premier League season: 4/1

Rio Ferdinand to play for England again: 4/9 no; 13/8 yes

What year will Rio Ferdinand retire from professional football: 10/1 2012; 15/8 2013; 13/8 2014; 6/4 2015 or later

Lampard 5/6 To Reach 100 Caps…qpr Becks Appeal Shrinking

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Frank Lampard led by example as England defeated Spain and he has now targeted 100 caps for England. The midfielder, who took his tally to 90 on Saturday is 5/6 with William Hill to join the 100 club (5/6 not to).

QPR have seemingly given up in the race to sign David Beckham and William Hill have eased their odds to 8/1 (from 6/1). Paris Saint Germain are the 4/9 favourites to secure Beckham’s signature, while Tottenham are the 5/1 second favourites. Beckham is 4/7 to join up with the GB squad for the 2012 Olympics and Hills make Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey 1/8 and 1/5 respectively to feature in the Olympic squad.

“Bale and Ramsay have already appeared in the promotional photos for the launching of the GB kit and with Wales not playing in the Euros, it now seems almost impossible to imagine that they will not join up with the squad in London,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

David Beckham next club: 4/9 PSG; 5/1 Spurs; 8/1 QPR; 9/1 Anzhi; 10/1 Blackburn; 12/1 Aston Villa; 16/1 AC Milan; 33/1 Real Madrid…others on request

Frank Lampard to win 100 England Caps: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

GB Sqaud for Olympics:

Bale: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no
Ramsey: 1/5 yes; 10/3 no
Beckham: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

Watch Out Shilts, You Bet Beckham Is Catching Up

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

WATCH OUT SHILTS, YOU BET BECKHAM IS CATCHING UP……
DAVID BECKHAM is now a 7/2 chance with William Hill to overtake Peter Shilton’s record total of 125 England caps.
And the currently bearded Becks can collect two more caps in the two forthcoming qualifiers to add to his total of 114, and Hills offer 9/1 that he STARTS both games; 11/10 that he starts only one, and 4/5 that he starts neither.
‘Becks is edging towards the record slowly but surely but is no longer guaranteed to start matches’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Beckham is 4/7 with Hills to make the World Cup squad, 5/4 not to.
Hills are quoting odds about how many minutes Beckham will play in the two games in total and offer:
How Many Mins Will Beckham Play Over The Two Games ?
None 9/1
1-45….9/4
46-90….2/1
91-135…..11/4
136-180…..5/1
0-90 Mins Only Injury Time Does Not Count
WILL BEARDED BECKHAM BE CLEAN SHAVEN FOR WORLD CUP?

WILLIAM HILL offer odds of 11/4 that newly bearded David Beckham will be completely clean shaven when England’s first match in the World Cup finals kicks off, and 1/4 that he is sporting a beard,designer stubble, goatee, moustache or some other variety of facial hair. (Stakes refunded if Beckham not in squad). ‘It is difficult to imagine that Fabio Capello will want his players running out for World Cup games looking like extras from Pirates of the Caribbean’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND FAVOURITES TO HOST 2018 WORLD CUP
WITH FIFA VICE PRESIDENT Jack Warner generously advising England on how to go about winning the right to host the 2018 World Cup, William Hill have installed them as 6/4 favourites to do so. ’52 years down the line it would seem not unreasonable that one of the few countries ever to have won the tournament should be given the right to host it again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,’But football politics make Machiavelli’s machinations look straightforward, so this race looks wide open’
William Hill: To host 2018 World Cup:
England 6/4
Australia 10/3
Russia 7/2
Spain/Portugal 4/1
Holland/Belgium 33/1
Japan 33/1
USA 33/1
Indonesia 50/1
